''... the person wrote a book and he didn't do it for free.'' BigJohn

Right. And should he not have?
If a person is independently rich --that could be a diff story.

A friend of 33 yrs, lives a mile away now...waited a long time to see James Van Praagh in California...and it was not free.
He moved on to being paid, of course, for advising in the making of 'The Ghost Whisperer,' a USA TV show,
5 seasons...became an Exec Producer, even.
Good for him.

Why 'should' his time be free, I dunno...he has expenses...maybe he should work in some company?
When would he have time to see all his clients or write his books?
He has a gift for writing...and he should be paid.
Same as musicians/composers/painters-artists with a gift.
Even Beethoven got paid...and he had the gift of hearing the music in his head.

If anyone can not see the logic and fairness in this...they may never.

Funny we had a big garden growing up and we had puppies for sale often.
A common sentence my mom said when I was little was, "Everybody wants something for free."
I think my dad took bags of veggies to work, maybe, in bags for sale...came back with stories...
like people thought they should be gifts.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
